Output Connections

BAL/OUT to Balanced Input of Other Equipment

The CAM2 provides a balanced output signal from the male XLR connector labeled BAL/OUT. Many types of professional equipment, like power amplifiers, have balanced inputs that are compatible with this output.The figure below shows the connection to a balanced input that has screw terminals. Many balanced inputs use XLR connectors. For XLR inputs, a standard MIC cable can be used. The figure in the next section shows this type of cable.The balanced output provides the same type of protection from noise and interference that the balanced microphones have and requires 3 wires to make the con- nections. For the best results, use this output connector if running the CAM2 output over long distances. When using the BAL/OUT to feed amplification or recording equip- ment, set the OUTPUT LEVEL switch to the +4dB position. This position provides the larger output voltages (relative to the smaller microphone output signals) required by other equipment.

BAL/OUT to Microphone Input of Other Equipment

It is sometimes necessary to feed the CAM2 output to the microphone input of anoth- er piece of equipment. However, the signal level of the CAM2’s output must be at a volt- age level compatible with microphone inputs. Microphone inputs require much smaller signal voltages than the inputs of other equipment.To accommodate this requirement, the CAM2 OUTPUT LEVEL switch can be set to the -50dB position. In this position, the out- put level of the CAM2 will be reduced to one that is compatible with microphone inputs. The CAM2 BAL/OUT connector requires a female XLR connector and the microphone inputs of other equipment typically require a male XLR.Therefore, a female to male XLR cable must be used for this type of connection. The diagram below shows the wiring of this type of cable and also the correct OUTPUT LEVEL switch position for feeding micro- phone inputs.
